We had such a great meal here! The tacos were some of the best we've had, and the side soup was delicious and flavorful. Love the simple, cool vibe of the shop. Definitely a must-visit for any taco lover. 5 stars for sure! read more

Came in last night after wanting to try them out for a while. Let me preface this by saying that I went in fully knowing it would not be authentic and was actually looking forward to trying something different and new. However, the food fell incredibly flat. The taco styles err on the side of traditional offerings, but did not taste anything like I would imagine them to taste. The carne asada was bland and the chicken wings were Smokey, but lacked salt so difficult to taste. The rice and beans were the best thing on the table. The chimmichurri was the most disappointing by far, tasting almost like it had mayo in it. The other thing that was odd to me is that apart from their house made hot sauce (which is more like a veg blend) they did not offer any house made salsa verdes/picantes or topping for the tacos. For $12-$15, a plate with two tacos is steep, considering there are no sides of accompaniments. I will however say that the food was incredibly fresh and of good quality. The tortillas were excellent, however fell apart due to the moisture and weight of the toppings. Maybe doubling them would improve the product. Service was also excellent. Good came out quickly and the cashier and cooks were amazing at answering our questions and offering suggestions. The place was nearly full, so that says something about their following. I really miss the previous Venezuelan restaurant that was here before. Their food was top notch! read more

Really authentic and delicious! We had chips/salsa, bang-bang shrimp tacos, carne asada tacos, chimichurri rice and street corn off the cob. The restaurant was clean, decorated well, and the service was impeccable. We hope to get back again very soon! read more

A great casual, local Louisiana-Mex spot! The looks are deceiving being in a strip mall, but the inside had a good amount of space. You order at the counter and there are employees serving tables. Now for the food! The queso was underwhelming unfortunately due to a lack of flavor and uniqueness. The bang bang shrimp taco was really good! It had loads of flavor. The birria taco was good. The meat was juicy and good quality, however it was lacking in flavor. Overall, the tacos were good, but on the pricier side being that it only includes two tacos and no sides. I'd come back to try the other tacos! read more

We'd been wanting to try this spot after we first heard of it on Instagram (shout out Gerald Gruenug)!. We arrived around noon and ordered at the counter with Michael. Tacos come in orders of two (no mixing and matching). I ordered two lengua on corn tortillas and two carne asada on flour, elote, chips and salsa, and side black beans and rice. Michael recommended the chimichurri rice, and I am happy he did - it was delicious: cooked perfectly with the perfect blend of chimichurri flavors. The tacos were excellent- the best tacos I've had since moving to Louisiana almost a year ago. My favorite was the lengua! Sliced thin, seasoned nicely and seared on all sides, it was tender and crispy and just the perfect combo with the corn tortilla, cilantro and onions. I am a purist when it comes to my tacos and prefer them from the streets like this. The carne asada was very good as well - cooked mid rare, juicy and covered with the yummy chimichurri sauce. Our friend ordered the elote with plantains and those were good. Crispy fried and seasoned plantain chips dipped in creamy street corn dip, I could eat the dip by itself it was that good. Chips were good, salsa mild. Truly great food here!!! Excellent friendly, casual vibes and good service. We will definitely be back next time we are up this way. read more

We had the bang bang shrimp tacos, parish sampler, smoked wings, and street corn. All of those were very good. We also had a regular and a spicy margarita, both of which were excellent. I would come back just for the margaritas. Overall great place. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I can't recommend Parish Tacos enough! They catered my offices holiday party and everyone LOVED the food. It was definitely a big hit with all. The chicken tacos and pork belly tacos are superb. Michael was my point of contact and he is very responsive and kind. You can't go wrong here. read more

2nd visit and this time we tried the specials! Met Ash for her daddy-daughter birthday lunch. We shared the tacos, all of them, and had a clear winner: Royal Red Shrimp Tacos! First, lemme say, the scallops were cooked perfectly, but I found they were so fresh and sweet, the act of turning them into a taco detracted from the delicate flavor of the meat. Still, it was a delicious dish; enjoyable and yummy, sure to please any palate. What did you say? A CRAB CAKE taco?? Oh yeah, that's what we said, and if I had ordered only these, I'd be raving about them...but I got them with Royal Red offering and - despite being chin-dribble worthy - the shrimp taco just knocked it out of the park. The crab was fresh, the seasonings perfect, and the taco ate like it was really well thought out. Highly recommend - Petunia gobbled hers down with a smile between chipmunk cheeks of love. Ah, the Royal Reds. Mmm. Mmmmmm. MMMMM! The shrimp were seasoned amd sautéed, just perfectly, and laid across the taco, expertly accompanied by an incredible array of flavors. First bite was hot and juicy and the flavors exploded out of the tortilla like they were late for a train...they were so good I had to stop eating to make sure I wasn't dreaming (I wasn't). The boudin balls were good, and the creamy sauce really elevated the dish, but I'm still giving the award to that crispy Brussels Sprouts dish from last visit. I still recommend them, though: Petunia had one and - just like magic - they're gone and we got no complaints. The staff is super friendly, be prepared to be made to feel at home! read more

10/10-Highly recommend Had the opportunity to visit this place to celebrate as a birthday lunch. Small quaint restaurant vibes where you order at register and have a seat. The staff visit your table often to check on you. We loved all of our food and it was seasoned to perfection. We are from Nola and a lot of people here say food is good but I have to try everything for myself. It's so good y'all. We had the salsa, quest w chips, scallops/blackened fish and bang bang shrimp tacos. All simply delicious! We will definitely return! read more

I was really impressed: for being slam busy on a Saturday, turnover was quick and wait too. Prices were very reasonable at $9 for two tacos! Unlike other places, two Birria tacos was quite filling! I loved the music, creativity of menu and customer service. My one constructive criticism was the queso. It was a weird consistency and very bland. I'll be back to try more tacos! read more

Parish Tacos - Birria tacos and queso dip - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Hell Yes! Legit tacos in Mandeville. Let me set the stage for you. It is Christmas Eve Eve and I am driving around doing some last minute shopping. I have been roving the earth for hours and it is now lunchtime and traffic everywhere is insane. I remembered seeing Parish Tacos on Yelp so I made a quick Toast Takeout order and headed to get my food. I am pretty sure this location was once Pontchartrain PO-Boys. That is one of my all-time favorites and I can see Parish becoming one as well. Inside is small but there are plenty of tables for dining in. The space is clean and well decorated with an awesome Pelican and the name painted on the wall. The staff were super friendly and my food was ready in the timeframe promised on the app. When I got home all I could say was wow. The food is amazing. Tacos are two to an order and are priced very reasonably for what you get. Here is the rundown of what I had: Street corn - This side was around $2 and was the best street corn I have ever had. The container said fried street corn which may have been the difference in standard street corn. But the sauce and toppings? My god. I could have eaten ten ears of this corn. Make sure you get some and drink the remaining sauce. Lengua tacos - Don't be scared of the meat. Yes, it is beef tongue but yes it is delicious. This version was small chunks which was different than the slow-cooked shredded tongue I have had in the past but it was delicious. Pork belly - This seemed like a Korean take on a taco. The belly was perfectly cooked and the kimchi made this an excellent taco. Birria - Look, if you are in the mood for a taco, get this, and don't look back. The meat was so flavorful that it didn't need the sauce it came with. But guess what? I used it anyway because it was awesome. Bang Bang shrimp tacos - This was the best shrimp taco I have ever had in my entire life. Full stop. I do not know what voodoo they did to make this taste so good but it was truly special. Kudos to you Parish Tacos. I am now craving more of this and I am still full from all the other tacos. Suffice it to say, I love this place. If you even remotely like authentic tacos, you will too. If you don't like authentic tacos why have you read this review to the end? You should probably try one and get on the taco train son. read more

10/10!! I got the street corn nachos and they separated everything so the chips wasn't soggy which I really appreciated. I'm definitely coming back soon. read more

Loved the bang bang shrimp tacos but have to give a thumbs down on the fish tacos. They tasted mushy and muskie.

It may look like it on the outside and inside but this is not your average taco shop! These are Gourmet tacos my friends. Interesting selection of tacos like bang bang shrimp, pork belly, fried oyster, crab cake, brisket plus daily specials. You can tell the owner/chef is passionate about food. The food is high quality. You won't find chinese shrimp here! We had the chile relleno tacos which were to die for. Also, had the seared ahi tacos with an Asian sauce. Very yummy! I wished I lived closer by-I'd be a regular! All I can say is if you haven't been yet, Go! Keep in mind, this is a very unprepossessing place. But don't let that fool you. This place is good, real good! read more

Parish Tacos is a MUST on the Northshore! The food was absolutely delicious and the tacos were full of meat, for the price this place is a 10/10.

Lastly, the staff and the atmosphere were outstanding. The food came out so quickly, and the staff were so kind and welcoming! We will definitely be back and have already recommended Parish Tacos to multiple people! Go try It out! read more

First time in and won't be the last. Felt at home walking in and chef even gave recommendations while we were looking at the menu trying to figure out what to get. The crispy pork belly taco was divine and had so much pork belly on it, you could feed two people easily. We also got the house smoked crispy wings, which were great and WHOLE wings- we took some home. The chimi crema and Parish sauces were excellent. The chips and salsa were also very good, as I love a good homemade salsa. They have a great one! Chef sent out some cheeses chicken tacos, which may have been my favorite thing on the table. A very good food experience and I highly recommend you try this gem on 22. Quaint little place with some high end food and vibes. read more

Had lunch there today, it was great. We split the special shrimp tacos with mango salsa, I forgot what they called them. Two large tacos with fried shrimp tossed on a tasty sauce - very filling. Served on corn tortillas - yummy. We also each had a side of the soup del deo - chicken tortilla. There's is a delicious version, different than most other Mexican places. It is not tomato or paprika based, lots of chicken, lime and crumbled cheese on the side. Great service too. I need to go back soon! read more

Parish Tacos - Burria tacos, gulf fish tacos, and chimichurri rice - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

I've been living in Mandeville for about a year and finally made it to Parish tacos for lunch. These are excellent excellent tacos, the ingredients are very good, the service is great, there's really nothing not to like, It may seem expensive for two tacos, but there's a lot of filling, they're not small street tacos, and they taste great. It's not quite a traditional Mexican restaurant taco which I'm fine with. I like those as well....basically I just like good tacos. But these are very, very good and if the crowded lunch was any indication, I'm not the only person who likes them. The guys working the kitchen were super friendly and helped answer some questions about the food. Not that you'll have many. I will definitely be back, these were excellent .. read more

Everything is delicious. I'm currently stuck on the Korean Beef taco... Their Nacho's - scrumptious!!!

Delicious spot! Got the bang bang shrimp tacos, birria tacos, & the pork belly tacos. All were incredible but the bang bang shrimp were my fav! Chips and queso were good. Also got the wings!

Go try this place!! Delicious!! They were so nice and really made us feel welcomed! Tacos were delicious!!

Rare, special place!! The staff was attentive and enthusiastic, great bang for your buck, the dishes weren't just a "copy/paste" of some other restaurant, it had a unique touch to it that I really liked. My girlfriend had some bang bang shrimp tacos that were completely different from what I've had at other places. I got some thick, juicy wings with a smoky flavor and cotija/cilantro over the top. Very impressed, will be back for sure read more

Delicious food! Highly recommend checking them out. May not look like much on the outside, but don't be fooled, they are great!

Oh no the Northshore has a hidden Gem! There tacos are so much better than Mi Mamacita's, El Paso, George's, Lago, Chivos, La Carreta, and El Rancho. Their uniqueness spin on tacos are so flavorful, It is crazy. I forgot to mention in the appetizers we ordered two of them, but this one was phenomenal the Brussel Sprouts Salad with Fried Brussels, house chorizo, cotija, chimichurri, pickled onions. You cannot go wrong with this. The service was good, they are where Pontchartrain PoBoys used to be, when they first started out on the Northshore. The place is nothing fancy but the food was GREAT! The only bad thing is they only open for lunch so my wife & I cannot eat there until the weekends. read more
